By becoming an International Professional Partner Firm (IPPF) you publicly align your firm with the Chartered Insurance Institute (CII), the largest professional body for the Insurance and Financial Planning sectors.
IPPF firms benefit from a collaborative association with the CII, as we strive to build public trust in Insurance and Financial Planning. An IPPF designation demonstrates a voluntary adoption of the CII Code of Ethics and a commitment to maintaining and enhancing professional standards.
